Aaron Konstam:
This latter statement makes no sense to me. How can kernels that are
not
running slow the yum update process? Could you offer an explanation for
this?
Nothing to do with files that are "running", there's simply more files
on the disc that might be checked upon when you're updating files
through RPM (think: dependencies). Kernel packages involve quite a lot
of files, so it becomes quite noticeable. Even more so if you have the
docs and devels installed, too.
